Remission and Leviathan albums...

SLAYER!!! /Thread.

Dream Theater.

Steve Vai

Liquid Tension Experiment

Well, not when the kids are in the car.

Five Finger Death Punch has some good tunes.

Does Dick Dale qualify for this catagory? If so log me in.

Good metal requires talent and the yungens are more into synthesizing sound than playing instruments. Metal is a lost art these days.

In a word, bollocks.

Metal is to music what a cat nailed to a board, having it's tail played with a tenon saw, is to a violin.

Ja! I enjoyed that Zamfir CD you played at you casa last time I was there.

Zamfir?!?!

shit, I'm impressed man, that was really random.

I might just have to buy the damn CD just to hear what Romanian pan-pipe music actually sounds like...

Yeah, he used to tour with Boxcar Willie ...

I see alot of older bands and maybe this is a hair metal thread but metal bands such as..Darkest Hour , IWrestledABearOnce..Five Finger death punch,Adema,Napalm Death,The Human Abstract,GodSmack,The Autumn Offering,I killed The Prom Queen just to name afew Also in the Spirit of St Pattys day Atomic Shamrock

Boxcar willie,Yes! This was under his vid,pretty cool
In your opinion who started heavy metal and that 'ol punk stuff ...which i never understood?

Anyone ever listen to Pat Boone's CD "In A Metal Mood- No More Mr. Niceguy"? Covers of metal tunes done lounge/easy listening style. Richard Cheese does similar takes on metal, hip hop standards- with the x-rated lyrics.

Rock & Roll gota new princess

Dunno...

Metal has way too many sub genres and spans a lot of generations to suit everyones tastes...

I'll agreee about most of the popular stuff you'll here played on local radio stations that they call metal...

Most of the bands I listen to are pretty talented... not sure if use of a synth denotes lack of talent...

Im no youngun at 35 either...

Music is like a drug to me... changing my mood etc... some of the above groups mentioned fall into the Hard Rock category by my standards... not that I don't like em... but they just don't set me off...

Mastodon has become a bit of a sell out... but their older albums Remisson and Leviathan are unreal...

By "set me off" I mean fire me up, about like taking a hit off an amonia cap!!! ... i.e. I usually listen to Mastodon when hitting the weights... Brutal, heavy, and unrelenting for sure and not for everyones tastes... But how could the line "split your lungs with blood and thunder" not fire you up...? shit... It makes me want to be right there with Ahab chucking harpoons and screaming "from the heart of hell I stab at thee"!!!!!!!!

I didn't start the thread to discus any particular brand of metal… I really don’t listen to much Hair Metal myself… to each his own I’m not one to criticize others taste…

No offense intended to any other posters but these lines from GWAR’s “Metal Metal Land” come to mind…

Filthy hair and dirty faces
Flying V's and swords and maces
80's hair bands are still hated
No false metal tolerated

The rest of the lyrics are quite funny...

Ha Ha…

Again to each his own…

Here are some lines from Metallica’s Whisky in The Jar (not a fan of Garage Inc BTW)…

Some men like a fishing
Some men like a fowling
Some men like to hear the cannon ball a roaring

I fall into the later category…

I prefer audible lyrics, if any…
I prefer melodic styles of metal…
I do like themed albums and bands (i.e. Leviathan being based on Moby Dick)…
But it must be heavy, brutal, and basically be the equivalent of amphetamines for my ears!!!
